Hi! I’m Lauren — a 30-something living the full-time Hamptons life (yes, even in February). Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I spill all the best-kept secrets, real talk, and recs on everything from lobster rolls to nature hikes to where to sip the perfect dirty martini.

In 2022, I traded in the beaches of Miami for the dunes of the Hamptons -m and I’ve never looked back. What started as a personal move quickly turned into a deeper love for this place, and eventually, the idea for The Hamptonites was born: a no-gatekeeping, totally unpretentious guide to doing the Hamptons right, from someone who actually lives here.

I’m a Hamptons homeowner, dog mom, wife, and full-time remote worker. So yes, I get what it’s like to be ambitious, busy, and always on the hunt for good vibes, great food, and even better recommendations.

Whether you’re here for a weekend, a month, a summer, or more – I’ve got you. Expect only the realest, most thoughtfully vetted picks that actually live up to the hype. No fluff. No filters. Just the good stuff.
